Whether you’re a seasoned drone hobbyist, new to the flight arena or a grandparent looking to purchase a child his first RC flying device, considering a waterproof drone is a great idea.

The waterproof features on the models below allow freedom of flight beyond fields and backyards to rivers, oceans and lakes. You can also get awesome underwater shots, and the fun need not end if it starts to sprinkle.

Here´s the thing:

The selection of drones that can handle water is still quite small.

However,

we found some Really Cool Water-Resistant Drones in different price classes .

Check out our reviews of water resistant quadcopters below or click on one in our quick list to check the price.

1. Splash Drone 3 Auto 4K

The Splash Drone 3 Auto is the latest version of the Splash Drone. It can float on water, fly in rain, land on water and surf on the water.

Follow Me

The Splash Drone also has follow me functionality, which makes it a great camera drone choice for water sports, like surfing, kite boarding, and water skiing. The waterproof camera shoots 4K under water.

Additional Fishing and Lifesaver Module

This drone has an additional 1 kg payload release module, that can be used for fishing or water rescue. You can use it to cast a bait in the ocean, or even lift up small fish.

The Splash drone can also deliver an automatically inflating life preserver to swimmers.

I suspect this module has to be purchased as an add on. I am not really sure about that.

Gimbal Included

The Splash Drone Auto comes with a 2 axis waterproof gimbal for stable camera and video shots with its 4K camera.

Skim this quadcoptor over water for great underwater footage with your waterproof camera attached to the gimbal for vivid shots.

FPV Controller

You get live video feed and real time data on the new all in one controller.

Download the app for android devices for more control options. Comes with a “return to home” function to prevent loss during malfunction.

Amazing! So now we can explorer the underwater by just with a remote control and taking high quality images and videos. Soon they will be more common to our DSLR cameras and the next gadget that we will love to have for backpacking.

Hi very comprehensive blog! but checking the Swellpro official website, splash had been upgraded to an Auto version with orange frame long ago, the white mariner drone seems to stop selling already, you may need to update the blog

Jessee I purchased an autel x star for fishing, losing it in the water. Now I realize I need a waterproof drone. There have been several negative reviews on the Swellpro
drone. I have been looking into the Poseidon 480 but cannot get any answers as if the prices include a camera and servo release. Can you recommend a supplier that
can answer my inquiries? I also like the Xiaomi drone to try. I cannot find out if it will hold my samsung galaxy 8 tablet? I have made several inquiries regarding these
questions without concrete answers. I would appreciate your input
